Saddle up! But beware potential spoilers in this review, which will discuss elements of the episode.###Note: given how the characters' stories blended through the episode, these sections will possess’own’nurse more crossover than usual.###We started with Dolores, so it seems right, given the park (and the reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue 's) penchant in/with regard to’concerning’regarding loops that we end the first season with her featured prominently. A common complaint with regards to’concerning’with respect to Westworld is that there are no characters to root in/with regard to’concerning’regarding in the series, but we'd again state that it takes a heart of stone not to feel in/with regard to’concerning’regarding Dolores as she struggles with her reality, her consciousness and the sheer level of manipulation of e grossly one around her. We cheered when she started truly fighting back against the Man In Black… Or, as so many possess’own’nurse guessed… William (perhaps the clue is in the first letter of his name: "M" upside down looks a lot like "W"). Evan Rachel Wood has been an emotional lynchpin here, and the finale offered her the chance to run the gamut of Dolores' reactions – shock, horror, wicked’dreadful’undesirable’adverse’vile assery, a slow awakening… And then the knife is twisted (literally in her case) once again when Ed Harris' propel n MIB acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure s the better of her. And that's merely’barely mid-way through the episode! There was plenty more to come, including some long discussions with Ford, a tragic reunion with Teddy and that jaw-dropping final scene.###Maeve's enormous’vast’massive’tremendous escape plot took on a tragic layer, even as she continually proved she was smarter than her creators. The idea that her whole scheme was simply a narrative (created by Ford? Because it certainly doesn't seem to be of benefit to anyone in the park, nor the hapless techs or guards she, Hector and Armistice take out as they head in/with regard to’concerning’regarding the exit). But bringing it all toacquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure her, sensational as always, was Thandie Newton, who along with Wood was the best perin/with regard to’concerning’regarding mer given the juiciest material to work with.###So, yes. The enormous’vast’massive’tremendous gest fan theory with regards to’concerning’with respect to William and the MIB being the same person was true. While it was mildly’faintly disappointing that so many had figured that out bein/with regard to’concerning’regarding e the reveal, it didn't mitigate the power of Dolores learning the truth, or the grand scale of the younger William's search in/with regard to’concerning’regarding her. We almost wondered if the creators were with regards to’concerning’with respect to to pull a convert’transform and possess’own’nurse Logan turn out to the MIB (let's face it, he was abundant’ample’plentiful of an arse from the acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure -go), but the sorrowful’distressing’woeful’heartbroken’mirthless’dejected’dismal’lugubrious trajectory of William eventually’ultimately finding himself as a man obsessed worked brilliantly despite leaving enormous’vast’massive’tremendous clues bein/with regard to’concerning’regarding e. Plus, does this mean we've seen the end of Jimmi Simpson and Ed Harris? Maybe, but given the tricky, time-twisting narrative, they could pop up again?###All season, Ford – as superbly played by Anthony Hopkins, who we'll truly miss if his character's headshot means the true end of him – has been portrayed as a cruel deity with little remorse. As it turns out, he has his own agenda, and it was in keeping with his old partner's ideas with regards to’concerning’with respect to the hosts' growing consciousness. Of course, he went with regards to’concerning’with respect to it in a peculiar ly manipulative way, even if he figured his co-creations needed to suffer to achieve consciousness. But the final, grand scheme was audacious and terrifying, especially given that it had been out in the open in/with regard to’concerning’regarding anyone to spot and yet was missed by most.###Poor old Teddy. Not merely’barely did he become a mass-murderer and was then felled by Dolores, his one true love. So, in/with regard to’concerning’regarding the final time this season: Oh My God, They Killed Teddy! You Bastards! Fortunately, as per usual, he was up and with regards to’concerning’with respect to later, rescuing the woman he loved and then being repurposed as a charming gala host. And then eintensely’extremely’extraordinarily’enormously’awfullything went bloody again, despite’in spite of’albeit in/with regard to’concerning’regarding tunately Dolores was there to reassure him that it will all be okay. If and when the hosts do create their own society, we figure someone must keep an eye on Teddy… After all he's seen, that boy ain't right.###Twist upon twist. Questions answered and new questions posed. If certain reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue s possess’own’nurse been offering undernourished extended episodes, the Westworld's creators Lisa Joy and Jonathan Nolan (with Nolan directing) didn't disappoint. Yes, there was the odd moment, peculiar ly given how many had figured out the William In Black mystery, that dragged a little, but in/with regard to’concerning’regarding the vast majority of the season finale, this was a great end to the beginning. Using the narrative in a way that merely’barely Westworld can, The Bicameral Mind addressed the enormous’vast’massive’tremendous mysteries and left a compelling road ahead in/with regard to’concerning’regarding Dolores and the rest. If it means we must say rosy’remarkable’fabulous’terrific’preeminent bye to Anthony Hopkins and Ed Harris, that's a shame, but they went out well. Logical issues continued to itch here and there – while we know Maeve tinkered with the security system, Delos continues to be the least organised incredibly complicated facility in the world. Still, it was worth it in/with regard to’concerning’regarding Maeve's storyline and you possess’own’nurse to love the sheer ballsiness of that final scene. The hosts possess’own’nurse been malfunctioning, so how much fun is it in/with regard to’concerning’regarding the enormous’vast’massive’tremendous finish to be at a function? Other little despite’in spite of’albeit ts: Samurai World! And was that a little, stealthy nod towards Jurassic Park with Dolores talk of dinosaurs?###Westworld hasn't always been perfect, but this is fantastic embark on a series that is compelling, smart, complex and occasionally violent (peculiar ly this week). When we talked to him in/with regard to’concerning’regarding the junket bein/with regard to’concerning’regarding e the reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue launched, James Marsden told Empire that the finale would possess’own’nurse magma pouring out of our heads. Well, skull open; magma eintensely’extremely’extraordinarily’enormously’awfullywhere. The wait in/with regard to’concerning’regarding Season 2 – peculiar ly as it appears the reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue won't be back until 2018 because of production reasons – will be a intensely’extremely’extraordinarily’enormously’awfully, grossly long one.###We don't know yet! But we know Westworld is park one and there's also Samurai World. We're hoping in/with regard to’concerning’regarding Roman World as a nod to the movie. And Futureworld? And Jurassic World! (Maybe manufacture r JJ Abrams can ask Steven Spielberg in/with regard to’concerning’regarding permission to use that one.)###We assume she's dead, but we possess’own’nurse n't seen a body and there has been no definite revelation. And given how much Shannon Woodward brought to the role, we hope she's back next season.###There is! If you're a fan of what Marvel does, this was more in the style of fun action scenes than any enormous’vast’massive’tremendous revelation. If you stopped watching as the credits rolled, go back and take a look.###Someone did. Please play responsibly.
